They also serve drinks here as well. Be warned, once you go inside, you're greeted with a huge wave of smoke. Since I don't smoke often, it is a lot for me as I'm not use to it. I personally like to sit outside and enjoy my cigar there.

Perfect for a date where you want to hear each other speak. We nabbed the center seating for the 8 guests in our party. The concept is clever highlighting punch style concoctions. You are met with a sample welcome cocktail which sets the tone for the menu. We each had 1-2 drinks and had mixed reviews. Traditional cocktails are available as well. Our bartender was knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the flavor profiles of items on the menu.

Located inside the Floridian Palace historic hotel in downtown Tampa. This hotel bar serves food!…read moreWe started with drinks and our server seemed to be running the whole place from bar to tables and back. At first it wasn't noticeable because there were only about 2 tables when we arrived but as the night progressed and the bar got busier, we had to wait for extended amounts of time for her to return to our table. We shared the truffle tots as an appetizer and they were delicious and perfect fried. I got the chicken Cesar wrap for my meal. Overall it was good, nothing special and honestly it was pretty bizarre to have croutons in a wrap. The fries were good but nothing beat those tots. We had a credit from The hotel to dine and our waitress once she learned this got immediately defensive and basically told us in many ways that we were lying and couldn't use the credit. After much back & forth with her she finally got in touch with management and changed her tune when she returned to our table to tell us she was mistaken and it was taken care of. Definitely not appropriate customer service at all on her part. We paid the reminder of our checks, tipped on the total minus our credit and couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I visited for the first time on a Thursday evening and left with mixed feelings…read more The venue itself is beautiful. It's clean, thoughtfully designed, and has a polished aesthetic without feeling overdone. The staff were friendly throughout my visit. The hostess explained there was a $25 charge for table seating but also let me know I was welcome to sit at the bar at no additional cost. The bartender was equally transparent and made sure I knew the 20% gratuity had already been included before I closed my tab. Those interactions stood out and were genuinely appreciated. The music was another positive. The DJ had a great ear for song selection, and the playlist fit the space well. While I personally enjoy DJs who blend and transition tracks more heavily, the music itself kept a good vibe throughout the evening. Where my experience became less positive was the overall atmosphere. When I arrived, there was a line outside, and I waited a few minutes before being let in. Once inside, there seemed to be plenty of space available, so I wasn't entirely sure what the wait was for. It may simply be part of how the venue manages entry, but it left me a little confused. The crowd is probably best described as curated. Everyone looked great, and there was an obvious appreciation for music and style. At the same time, I didn't experience much of the social energy I usually associate with a lounge. One observation that stood out was the ratio of women to men, which seemed heavily weighted toward women that evening. The men who were there largely kept to themselves, so if someone is visiting with the expectation of a highly social environment, their experience may be different than expected. From a value perspective, parking ended up costing $17 which was more than the posted price ($12) , and my lemon drop came to $36 with the included gratuity. To be fair, I'm not sure I'd ever be comfortable spending $36 on a single lemon drop, regardless of the venue. That's simply my personal threshold. When an evening starts to reach that price point, I naturally expect the overall experience to feel equally memorable. This venue clearly has an audience, and I can understand why. If you're looking for a stylish space, a well-dressed crowd, and a thoughtfully curated playlist, this may be exactly what you're after. I don't know if I would revisit this one or suggest.. maybe for a one off special occasion for a pregame , an expensive pregame, but you'll get some cool pictures. As a tourist from Atlanta that goes out often this one, misses the mark for me just a bit. A spot that potentially could be comparable in Georgia is Jojos beloved. Alter ego has a cool factor, but it's definitely missing something. Very instagramable

What a DOPE, PIRATE THEMED, speakeasy to go to grab some delicious drinks! Totally blown away!…read more Tucked, downtown Tampa you enter through a secret bookcase door and you enter a very low key pirate bar! Lighting is dim, which is part of the concept. (Auto flash is needed for pics) The joint, is VERY CLEAN! The staff is awesome and very attentive! They understand process. The drinks are SOOO WELL MADE! I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime! They have a small food menu, but everything on the menu looked delicious, but I did not eat there. This speakeasy is attached to a British pub which I went for food after. (Review to come) All-in-all great spot to come and have a drink you are well treated, appreciated and just a fun experience! I will DEFINITELY come back here for a delicious drink and DEFINITELY will try something off the food menu. I'll just make sure next time I won't go there after a big breakfast lol! Five stars alllllll day long!!!
